Thought it might be fun to talk about some of the bizarre cases from the tribunal, I'm kinda sad that I took a few months off while they got rid of the IP bonuses for it and made it level 20 and above. I finally hit 30 two nights ago and was excited to start judging people, but then I found out there is no real reason to do it anymore other than to see how wretched people are to each-other in online play.

What they need to institute is the ability to punish the reporter as well. There have been a few cases where I review the logs and am like... I am fine pardoning you, but this asshat that reported you needs to spend some time off.

You also get the final scores, so someone who goes 0/20/2 with nothing but boots of mobility or something while the rest of their team is around 1/5/5 is probably not taking things as seriously as the rest of their team.

Most of it is chat, though. I've never hit punish because of score alone, if someone's deliberately feeding then they've just got to tell the world, so that everyone can know that even though I'm 0/30, it's not because I suck, oh no no, it's all because of that noob Akali taking blue, you see. They have driven me to this, they suck so bad they can suck by proxy.

Yes. Being bad is not a punishable offense. I have had plenty of games where, if you looked at score and items alone you might consider me a feeder and then having the enemy team say in post game chat "he wasn't the problem". In fact had one recently as blitzcrank (2/13/7) which happened mainly because our ADC does not understand that attack speed sucks and you should get waste 1000 gold on boots 2 before getting your AD. Blitz/MF can't motherfucking burst cait/janna if MF doesn't have any AD.

Reading through the chat logs between LCS games, some Xin Zhao got reported for verbal harrasment by his entire team, nothing weird.

Then I'm giving it a second read through and though the player names are hidden, I notice that right at the beginning, one of the enemy team members goes in allchat "Hey, Lyte, if I beat you in lane, do I automatically get reported to tribunal, lol" and notice a few times that other people are talking to Lyte.

If you're not sure who Lyte is, he's the dev who runs the Tribunal and other player behavior systems.

So this Xin was apparently playing with the Riot dev who's personally in charge of issuing bans and suspensions, and decides to start cussing him out and insulting his team all game.

The best one is actually a screengrab by a person being toxic in champion select. Pendragon is/was the face of bans before Lyte became more public

I've seen the same screenshot before but usually the description says it was Pendragon abusing power and banning someone that wanted to just play a random champion when Pendragon wanted them to pick and play try hard.
